I'm not quite done but I'm nearly there. Please do let me know if anything's odd. I yanked out about 2,600 lines of CSS in this update, and it's possible some of that shit is important and I didn't notice.
Also, would it kill ya to say something nice?
Oh it would?
Okay, that must be very difficult for you. I'll be respectful of your differences as a person.

what, the awesome enlarging head graphic at the bottom of each post isn't good enough for you?

LOTS MORE CHANGES, which you probably saw in-progress if you were visiting thefpl.us in the past couple hours..
There's some smaller tweaks to a lot of different places, but here's the most noticeable two:
The comments section had a big revamp.
The header does a lot more than it used to. Here's how it works:
- Looks for a session variable. If you haven't been to thefpl.us in this session, it'll pick a header for you.
- If you have been here before, there's a dice roll. You might get a new header, or it might do some silly animation with the logo.
Enjoy. And do tell me if you have any problems with anything.
-
A fair amount more, those these are smaller and less noticeable than the ones from last night.
- new submission form for headers.
- Different hamburger actions for sidebar on mobile
- General cleanup of some mobile experience weirdness.
-
Go see what thefpl.us looks like in Internet Explorer 9 or worse.

I shudder to think.
-
just spotted this one - the tag cloud on the left is still in Trebuchet.
-
While looking at an older episode (one that doesn't have the new icons yet) I noticed there was no link to ballp.it in the site navigation. The only links seem to be on the episodes themselves.

Huh, must have been a cache issue.

No no, you were right. That was "how's that" as in "how ya like me now?"

Whoops, sorry for misunderstanding!

A small but not completely insignificant change....
I just remembered that HTML5 includes a "download" attribute for <a> tags. That's probably gibberish to you, but the important part this means if you click the cloud/download icon, it'll actually download the fucking file, rather than trying to open the MP3 in a window. This'll only work for newish browsers, but if you're not using a newish browser I hate you anyway.
(also this only applies to the most recent 10 or so episodes, since those are the only links I changed)
-
Oh cool, that always bugged me that like, when downloading on my phone, I had to specifically tell it to 'save link' because no, Chrome, I don't want to use your weak-ass built-in player.
-
Did some small tweaks to thefpl.us, mostly some things that were bothering me over the last couple days. Most notably, the expanding sidebar works a lot better than it used to.
-
Couple slight tweaks:
- mobile hamburger menu sidebar now properly scales to your phone's height.
- image in an episode comment can not be bigger than 98% of the available space in its container.
- CSS compressed to save about 40% of the stylesheet's bandwidth.
-
The Weird Romance flyer was raising hell with mobile display, so I made some changes to that thing. Clicking the image downloads the flyer now.
-
Boots and I figured out today that putting preload="metadata" in the embedded <audio> elements for each episode was one of the main culprits in this "waiting for web sockets" problem we're having. I removed a bunch of that, which should translate to a performance increase short-term.
-
Just wanted to add that it displays nicely in a command line web browser. Not really much in the way of CSS there, but I guess it's worth noting.
Also wanted to note that I really think "My Mistress Is Machine Washable" should have the 'how in the hell did you get that fetish?' tag.
-
Just cleaned up the meet index a bit.
I set it up so that a meet page is not a requirement in order to have a person credit as the content provider, then went through and chopped out any profile page with no information and only one submission. If anyone got deleted and wants back on the page, that's super easy to do, just ask.

Made a little update to fanart. On the episode pages, click a piece to see it full size.
